The youth of Grace cordially invite all parishioners to the annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 21 from 6:00 – 7:30 PM in the Parish Hall. The youth and the youth leaders will be cooking, serving, welcoming, and cleaning up afterwards. This annual fundraiser helps support our youth program, so tips will be welcomed and much appreciated!
Reservations are required. Cost is: free for children age 5 and under, $5 for children and youth age 6-18, and $10 for adults. We’d love for you to reserve your place no later than Wednesday, February 15 so we can start planning our grocery list.
There is no nursery offered during the pancake supper – the whole family is invited! So, join us for this party with plenty of butter and fat and sugar before you put it all away on Wednesday morning to begin your Lenten devotion.
Our Bible study class is exploring the subject of violence as it is woven throughout the Old and New Testaments. The Bible Study meets in the chapel on Sundays at 9:30 AM and is facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Park. All are welcome to join this discussion, with an open mind, heart, and imagination, seeking to respectfully engage the Word of God as revealed in Holy Scripture.
February 12: The One for the Many and the Many for the One Suggested readings are: Gen. 34:1-31; Lev. 16:8-10; Judges 4: Judges 14-16; John 11:45-53; 2 Cor. 5:6-15; Judith (Apocrypha).
Week Three: Armies against Armies
Week Four: Violent Death As Sacrifice
Just a reminder that we will soon begin our next class for anyone who may be new to the Grace community. You may have transferred from another parish, you may have recently moved to town, or you may have only begun worshipping and exploring in The Episcopal Church. No matter what, you are invited to attend the class that will begin on Sunday, February 19 at 9:30 AM in the Parish Hall.
For those who have only joined Grace in the past couple years, this particular conversation will be different, so you are especially invited as well.
Below is a link to a document that we will use as our “textbook” for the class: an intentional curriculum I have created using the Catechism from The Book of Common Prayer. Feel free to download this or print off a copy and bring to class with you!
Blessings,
Stuart
Our February 25 retreat is almost full! Registration is open until noon on Monday, February 20 or until we reach 150 participants. Don’t miss this chance to come and share in a day of listening, rhythm, prayer, poetry, and fellowship as we reflect together on what it means to be grounded in our practice of faith.
Look ahead to upcoming opportunities for prayer, worship, and community!
